1Cor 15 has nothing to do with the wicked, its all about the saints. Sure the wicked will be raised unto Judgement and damnation, but thats not addressed in 1 Cor 15 at all
They did not sin "In Adam". (That's Theology talking)
In Adam, though, they all die. (That's the text talking)
In Christ, all shall be made alive.
Some, the unrighteous, will be resurrected unto damnation and the second death. Others shall be resurrected unto eternal life which is again, only found in Christ.
I understand that your Theology requires you to read "In Adam all die" as "In Adam all sinned", but, that is not the Scriptural teaching.
So if babies didnt sin in a representative head such as Adam, why do they die and why do they need Jesus Christ as Saviour ? Christ came to save sinners, not the righteous.
The wicked unjust will be resurrected, but 1 Cor 15 has nothing to do with their resurrection, they are not in Christ. 1 Cor 15 is about the resurrection of the saints in Christ
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
O.K.
If you want to insist on this, I don't really care.
I don't know how you distinguish Christ's defeat of death at his resurrection from what, the power of the wicked to resurrect themselves somehow??? Is it Satan that resurrects them?
Whatever.
It's not really that important to me what you think on that particular matter.
So they enter in without Christ dying for them, without Christ. They must stand aloof and watch these Rev 5:9
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Maybe thats right, but what basis, grounds would the child go to Glory, on the bases of its own innocence or through being one of Gods chosen sheep that Christ died for and redeemed ?
The animals also die, and that is because of Adam.
But, they were not sinners.
Adam was God's "image-bearer" to rule over his creation.
Hence, death came upon animals also.
Thus, there is no reason (based upon that) that death should not also come upon Adam's human progeny even if they were too young to know good from evil and were not personally partakers in Adam's sin. Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
It simply isn't required that they "sin in Adam" to explain the Universality of death.
If, there is another Biblical reason to insist that they were guilty of Adam's sin, then fair enough...but, the mere fact of their dying does not demonstrate that.
No one sins in a vacuum.
Others always suffer because of sin.
Its good to know that you believe some people will be partakers of Christ s eternal kingdom without being redeemed. So do you think the innocent infants will stay infants throughout eternity ? Or will they be transformed into adults
O.K.
I'm hardly in a fringe minority here.
I used to think like you do.
I was taught to.
At this point, your questions are simply obtuse. This suggests to me that there is no point in continuing here.
Good day to you.
